About this item

An enticing set of crystal coloured columns in graduated sizes and 5 colours, in a bespoke wooden storage tray. The cylindrical gems are made from solid translucent acrylic, beautifully finished with smooth edges and come in 5 different colours. The tray has evenly spaced holes for holding and storing the columns. The heights of the columns correspond to the heights of the tickit Gem Circles for extended play and learning. The acrylic pieces are highly appealing to handle, they sound lovely when tumbled together and will catch the light to show the internal reflections in a fascinating way. Ideal for magnifying, colour mixing, fine motor skills, stacking, building and exploring spatial relationships. They can be used to create structures, measure lengths and to practise counting. The pillars are designed to be compatible with other pieces from our Gems range, allowing for more complex constructions and accessorising imaginative small world play scenes.
